WAYLAND -- Senior Jack Perry nailed a 24-yard field goal with 7 seconds in the game to boost the Acton-Boxboro High School football team past host Wayland, 18-17, in a Dual County League football game.

Perry's field goal ended a back-and-forth game in which neither team could inch far ahead.

After Wayland took an 8-0 lead, A-B got a TD on Billy Jackman's 43-yard run. Jackman then tossed to Thomas Saponaro for the 2-point conversion to tie the game.

Wayland then got a 25-yard field goal from Eric MacLean, before the Colonials took the lead on Hunter Arnold's 39-yard touchdown pass to Bill Euele. Perry added the extra point.

Wayland scored again late in the game, but A-B moved downfield on their last drive to set up Perry's dramatic winning kick.

On defense, Acton-Boxboro received key interceptions from Euele and Zach Adgate.
